I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.

I've been experiencing some weird pricks in my chest over the past few days and it's kind of unsettling. I already had my echo and ECG done and they both came back normal, plus the X-ray showed nothing unusual. Should I be worried at this point, or is it worth getting more tests done to figure out what's going on?

Chest pricks can have various causes, including musculoskeletal issues, anxiety, or even gastrointestinal problems. Since your echo, ECG, and x-ray are normal, it is reassuring that there are no major heart or lung issues. However, if the symptoms persist, it may be helpful to consider other investigations such as a Holter monitor to assess your heart rhythm over a longer period of time, or a stress test to evaluate your heart's function under exertion. Additionally, discussing your symptoms in detail with your healthcare provider can help determine the best course of action.
